Getting there

Car

If you are traveling by car, start by heading to St. Peter Port, the capital of Guernsey. From St. Peter Port, take the A2 road towards the west, following signs for Lihou Island. As you approach the Lihou causeway, park your car in the designated parking area near the entrance to Lihou Island. There is no cost for parking. Once parked, walk across the causeway to Lihou Island, which may be submerged during high tide, so check tide schedules beforehand.

Public Transportation

If you prefer public transportation, take the bus number 91 from St. Peter Port towards the west. Get off at the stop for Lihou Causeway. Buses typically run every 30 minutes, and a single ticket will cost around £1.50. After disembarking, walk across the causeway to reach Lihou Island. Be mindful of the tide schedule to ensure the causeway is accessible.

Walking

Once you are on Lihou Island, follow the well-marked walking paths towards Quesnard Lighthouse. The walk is scenic and may take about 20-30 minutes depending on your pace. Enjoy the coastal views and natural beauty of the island as you make your way to the lighthouse.
